Irresistible Christmas – Pets to the Rescue (Irresistible Romance Book 6) ANTHOLOGY – Review by Karyn Taylor

IRRESISTIBLE CHRISTMAS - PETS TO THE RESCUE (Irresistible Romance #6)IRRESISTIBLE CHRISTMAS – PETS TO THE RESCUE by Tamara Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Irresistible Anthology: Pets To The Rescue is a collection of 7 contemporary romance stories set around Christmastime where adorable pets play a significant role in the stories. The 7 stories are:
Two Hearts Christmas Rescue by Tamara Ferguson
Mistletoe Magic by Natalie Ann
Bayou Christmas by Suzanne Jenkins
Candy’s Christmas Wish by Cynthis Cooke
Melt My Heart by Alicia Street
Playing Santa by Stephanie Queen
A Snowy Seaside Christmas by Traci Hall.

I am not going to review all 7 stories but have chosen to highlight my favourite which is Two Hearts Christmas Rescue by Tamara Ferguson. Over the last couple of years I have become a huge fan of Tamara Ferguson, loving her books set in Crystal Rock, Wisconsin so I was excited to get a chance to read another book from the Two Hearts Wounded Warrior series.

This book gives us the story of Kinley and Jake. Kinley is the vet in charge of the animal shelter and Jake has been sent to help out there while he works on a hush hush dangerous assignment for the AFOSI. The attraction between Jake and Kinley is instant but as he’s only due to be there for a couple of weeks both try their best to keep each other at arms length and Jake doesn’t want to get Kinley embroiled in the assignment he was working on.

I really enjoyed this book. As with the other books in the Two Heart Wounded Warrior series there is a dangerous and intriguing story line along with the romance which helps keep the reader fully engaged and wanting to know how the story is going to pan out.
Definitely worth the read.

This is a wonderful set of stories. I enjoyed each and every one. Each of the stories has something for everyone with a little bit of Christmas magic and a lot of pets, what more could you ask for. One of my favorites is Two Hearts’ Christmas Rescue by Tamara Ferguson, she always gives me all the feels I want in a good book. Jake and Finley find themselves working together and then sparks fly. To find out what happens between these two this is a must read.. Another one of my favorites is Mistletoe Magic by Natalie Anne. All of these stories were so good I had a hard time putting it down. There is romance, danger, second chances, furry friends and more. There are some of my favorite authors and some new ones that I will definitely be looking for in the future. I highly recommend this anthology and you will not regret it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Irresistible Christmas – Pets to the rescue by Tamara Ferguson a woofable four-star read. This has some great stories in it, as do all of the collections that Tamara Ferguson puts together, I really like the way they bring the military to the story and always mange to bring great characters together making you care about them in such few pages. Kinley and Jake will suck you in and when you add puppies as well, well then you just have a winner. Melt my Heart was another one that actually melted my heart. There are many stories that will capture your heart and many that will melt it also.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really loved this collection of books. They are all uniquely different but they all contain romance and animals and the spirit of Christmas.

One of my favourites is Two Hearts Christmas Rescue by Tamara Ferguson. I love the way the author writes and how you get completely immersed in the story.

Kinley is the Veterinarian at Crystal Rock Animal Shelter. She works there and is also looking to set up a training place for wounded war veterans. She loves her job. Christmas for her has always been a hard time full of grief and sadness but this year she plans for it to be different.

Jake Ryder is an agent sent to Crystal Rock to hunt down a criminal. To help him blend in he gets a job at the animal shelter.
The connection between Jake and Kinley is instant with both feeling the pull.
Can they let go of the pain of the past and open themselves up to love. Will the magic of christmas help them create the romance?

If you are looking for feel-good stories about Christmas, relationships, and pets, look no further because this is the anthology for you. I especially liked Two Hearts Christmas Rescue by Tamara Ferguson. This book is about Kinley and Jake. They are in need of some help. There are some pets that need some help too. Kinley and Jake have not been able to celebrate Christmas for a couple of years due to some losses that they have suffered, Jake had a crush on Kinley in high school. He is back from his time in Afghanistan. Will Kinley take a chance with Jake? Can a group of animals bring them together? Will Christmas magic come alive and bring Jake and Kinley together? I highly recommend this book and all the books in this anthology.

IRRESISTIBLE CHRISTMAS – PETS TO THE RESCUE.
This is a wonderful anthology with stories that I won’t be able to forget any time soon. Each story was a wonderful way to get lost in the pages of a book for a while. I love when authors come together for something like this, I just think it’s great to have something from different authors and if they end up being new to you what a great way to find them. And I gotta say I’m a sucker for any storyline that includes animals! Each story was great one of my favorites was Two Hearts Christmas Rescue by Tamara Ferguson. This story truly pulled at my heart and I just loved the time I got to spend with these characters. It’s well written and paced nicely. But truly each story was great and I loved them all. If you’re looking for something unique and with some great authors I highly recommend this! Five stars all the way!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this anthology of Christmas romances set in the season of miracles and full of the spirit of Christmas. Each heartwarming, romantic, steamy story had me hooked and this was the perfect collection of contemporary romances to read over the festive period. As a fan of Tamara Ferguson I was looking forward to her story, ‘TWO HEARTS’ CHRISTMAS RESCUE’ and I was not disappointed. For Kinley and Jake Christmas has been a time of loss for them both and so neither has celebrated for years. Then a gang of needy rescue pets help Kinley and Jake to rescue each other’s Christmas and maybe even fall in love. In ‘MISTLETOE MAGIC’ by Natalie Ann, Robin and Brian need the magic of Christmas to help them discover what is hiding in their hearts. Suzanne Jenkins ‘BAYOU CHRISTMAS’ introduces us to Maggie who’s discovery under Bayou Cottage could change her life. A mother dog and her litter bring Maggie and the local handsome veterinarian together. In ‘CANDY’S CHRISTMAS WISH’ by Cynthia Cooke, Candy is about to loose her house, her business and her dog and could really do with a Christmas miracle but can the guy who broke her heart, Lincoln, provide one. In Alicia Street’s story ‘MELT MY HEART’ a mysterious letter and a rescue mutt bring two people who have given up on love, Wynter and Caleb together. In ‘PLAYING SANTA’, by Stephanie Queen, football player Sean Patrick not only rescues a puppy whilst dressed as Santa but also rescues a struggling beauty and her son. The last story by Traci Hall ‘A SNOWY SEASIDE CHRISTMAS’ brings a doctor and his patient, who has been shot whilst on duty, together but both Gemma and Bryce need to forget their pasts and take a chance on love. This was an enjoyable and engaging anthology which I was totally immersed in and could not put down. Each story had a real feel good factor and the whole collection put me in a festive mood, ready for Christmas.

I have come to get really excited each time I see a new Irresistible Anthology come out no matter the season.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Irresistible Christmas – Pets to the Rescue is an anthology, seven stories written by seven different authors. So far I’ve read the Two Hearts Christmas’s Rescue by Tamara Ferguson. This is a story about Kinley and Jake. The last time Jake saw Kinley was back in high school when he had a huge crush on her. Now after years of service in Afghanistan, Jake is working under cover helping at the animal shelter with Kinley to train service dogs for wounded vets.
This is a lovely story that occurs near Christmas – I enjoyed reading it this Christmas season. I hope other readers enjoy it too!

I loved this collection of Christmas stories. This is a great anthology that has seven stories from seven great authors. Each story brings something different and shows the spirit of Christmas. I found some of my favorite authors and I think you will too. One of my favorite stories is Two Hearts Christmas Rescue by Tamara Ferguson. It is about Kinley and Jake. Their Christmas is in need of rescuing. A few pets are in need of rescuing, will they turn Kinley and Jake’s Christmas around? The magic of love is pretty powerful, will it be for them? The other story that I really loved was Candy’s Christmas Wish by Cynthia Cooke. This is a story about second chances. Candy is on the verge of losing her house, business and her dog. What she needs is a miracle. As Lincoln comes back into her life, will he be the miracle she needs? Will Christmas be a time for healing? I loved the characters in each of these stories and the Christmas magic they each bring. A great Christmas book and I highly recommend this anthology.

Playing Series 3 Book Set by Stephanie Queen – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Playing Series 3 Book SetPlaying Series 3 Book Set by Stephanie Queen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The playing Series boxset by Stephanie Queen was a great series. I have read a few of this authors books in the past and I am familiar with her writing style. These books were a little different from what I have read by her previously. This really was the perfect set of books to read. It’s starting to get cold out so I found myself snuggled up with my puppies at night, a cup of coffee in hand and got lost in this series. Who doesn’t likes sports romance books or 2nd Chance Romance reads? It’s hard to pick a favorite. You will have to read them yourself and pick one of your own. I enjoyed all 3.

Playing for the money was about bad boy Hunter getting moved to a new team. He needs to keep himself on the right track and prove himself but what can he do when the woman he is supposed to work along side is so attractive. He finds it hard to keep his distance as she does as well. The icing on the cake is, she isn’t just any woman…she’s the coaches daughter!!! Loved the character and Loved reading this one!!

Playing for love was another great read. These two characters are not new friends. They do know each other from sometime ago. The time for them just wasn’t right. Now things may be different. This was a sweet read. I liked the characters. What will happen now that Gabe and Mia are spending some time together?? Read the book and find out.

Playing for keeps has a little bit of a different feel for me. I enjoyed reading the book but, sometimes certain books hit you differently. This happens to be one of them. The main characters in this book are Tate and Chloe. These two have an attraction to each other even if they don’t want to. What happens when their friends get involved?

I can’t wait to read more books by this author. These books were all amazing.

5/5 Stars

Playing Series 3 Book Set: Sports Romance by Stephanie Queen

Playing for the Money

This is the first book I’ve read by the author but it won’t be the last. Queen knows how to capture a reader’s attention and knows how to keep it. Playing for the Money is a great read.

Cat, the coach’s daughter, takes on the task of being a bad boys handler. Being the daughter of the coach has points, but also has disadvantages. The quote I chose for Cat is: “I’ll contact the Players Association so you won’t have to pay their attorney. I’m pretty sure I can convince them.”

Hunter, the bad boy football player, finds himself in trouble. Not once but twice. Cat comes to his rescue for the second one. He keeps his personal life locked up tight. The quote I chose for Hunter is: “I wouldn’t know. Because I don’t need to be crazy to be in love with you. I’d be crazy if I didn’t love you, Cat.”

Highly recommended for sport romance lovers.

Playing for Love

Queen has really done it with this book. You’ll need tissues. Maybe two boxes. Playing for Love is a great book and I can’t wait for the next one.

Mia, best friend to Gabe’s girlfriend, went to college with the pro. She had a huge crush on him back in the day, but does she still have it? The quote I chose for Mia is: “I can’t wait to dream of you again, to wake up with you and remember it wasn’t all a dream.”

Gabe, a star QB, isn’t sure what he wants anymore. His love is football…or it was. What happens when his crush from college shows up? The quote I chose for Gabe is: “It’s not the way I feel. You , Mia, are far more important to me than football.”

Highly recommended for sport romance lovers.

Playing for Keeps

Queen loves to keep her readers wanting more. This next story requires tissues as well. The heartbreak reading this is real.

Tate, someone who loves the game, isn’t quite ready for the storm called Chloe. He plays hard to get and really despises her. The quote I chose for Tate is: “Get out, Chloe. It’s time for me to strip down and take an ice bath and I wouldn’t want you to get overexcited and out of control.”

Chloe, aka Smitty, is trying to climb her way to the top. She is sassy and honestly a great person. She sets her eye on Tate. If only she can get over his personality. The quote I chose for Chloe is: “I already am, big boy. Didn’t you know? I’m the pathetic little girl of the late-great master trying to fill her daddy’s shoes and never gonna make it.”

Highly recommended for sport romance lovers!

Find out what happens with each of these couples. I can’t recommend this author enough . If you are looking for your next sports romance pick up this book set you won’t be disappointed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this set of three books in Queen’s ‘Playing Series’, each one is a full sports romance novel set in the world of the Boston Militia football team. As the novels contain adult themes and steamy scenes they are intended for adults 18+. ‘Playing for the Money’ is a bad boy sports romance centred around NFL bad boy Hunter Quintanna and his coach’s daughter, Cat. Hunter is desperate to keep his contract with the Boston Militia as he needs the money to support his Mum and siblings but when he meets Cat, the very off limits daughter of his coach he finds it hard to keep his hands to himself. When Cat became bad boy Hunter’s handler to turn around his reputation she definitely did not expect to loose her heart to him. As much as Hunter & Cat try to keep their relationship professional their sizzling connection can not be ignored. I loved Cat and Hunter and their chemistry sizzled off the page, I was cheering them on hoping they would get their happy ever after.

Novel two, ‘Playing for Love’ has a more second chance at love feel to it and having been introduced to the world of the Boston Militia in book one I was looking forward to being back amongst the team. Superstar NFL quarterback Gabriel Wyatt loves football but unfortunately his girlfriend does not and has moved to Atlanta. Things get more complicated when his girlfriend asks him to show her best friend Mia around Boston. Mia turns out to be the girl from Gabe’s college days who he kept at arms length so that a relationship would not compromise his football career. The more time they spend together the crush that they had on each other four years ago develops into something more. Another wonderfully written sports romance by Stephanie Queen who has developed a great world surrounding the Boston Militia and one which she makes come alive. The main characters are likeable and relatable and the storyline is full of romance, angst and drama which had me hooked from beginning to end.

‘Playing for Keeps’, has a enemies to lovers storyline and introduces us to Tate and Chloe. Tate Fontanna is a footballer or as Chloe refers to him as, a ‘jock’ and Chloe Smith is a sports reporter who Tate looks at as being dangerous. Tate believes Chloe is just after a story and can not be trusted whilst Chloe thinks Tate is a player. However neither can deny their instant attraction to the other or the sizzling chemistry between them. Tate needs to avoid bad press as his contract is up for renewal but ignoring the ambitious Chloe is harder than he thinks and Chloe also starts to see Tate in a different light until a scandal erupts and Tate finds out if he can really trust Chloe or not. I loved the banter between Tate and Chloe and how they had to overcome their initial thoughts about one another to develop a relationship. Both characters are likeable and realistic and the author has a way of making the reader feel engaged with them. Tate and Chloe’s chemistry really came across in the narrative, and this led to some sexy scenes. The plot had enough going on in it to keep me happily turning the pages and I felt immersed in the world of the Boston Militia once again.

I ‘binge read’ the three novels, each one can be read as a standalone story although they are all set in the same world and the characters do crossover. Although each novel was an enjoyable read, the stories did take me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading them. Despite all the angst and all the emotions each story in the series is guaranteed a happy and satisfying ending.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Playing Series 3 book set contains the first 3 books in the Playing Series by Stephanie Queen. I wrongly assumed that this was a trilogy of books containing one couple’s story. That’s what I get for reading the blurb of the first book and liking it then deciding to read the set and not looking at the rest of the blurb. What you actually get is 3 full complete stories of 3 fantastic couples. This set contains the following:
Playing for the Money – Cat and Hunter’s story
Playing for Love – Gabe and Mia’s story
Playing for Keeps – Tata and Chloe’s story

I had never previously read any of Stephanie Queen’s work but I love a sports romance and liked the look of the blurb of book 1 and so decided to give this set of books a chance. I am so glad that I took a chance on this set as I absolutely loved all 3 books. I don’t think I can pick a favourite. All 3 are very different stories but all great engaging entertaining reads. Each book had me hooked from the very beginning and kept me going until the very end. I really didn’t want to put these books down. The proverbial page turner!

The author has produced excellent, relatable, realistic characters that you can’t help but fall in love with and great storylines that keep you entertained from beginning to end, so If you love great sports romances. Or even just great romances where the sexy times are HOT then this set of 3 books is a MUST read.

5 Stars

Stephanie Queen is definitely a favorite author of mine. If you have not dug in to her Beachcomber Investigations series, you simply must! I picked this set up because of the author and I’m somewhat shocked that I loved it as much as I did as I’m not really into the sports genre, but as usual this author pulled me in and didn’t let go.

This box set contains 3 books about 3 different couples. Each one can be read as a standalone but reading them all gives you the best experience.

You get everything you could want in these books. An enemy to lovers, a second chance, and what I would call a forbidden romance. Each one has its own level of heat, sweetness, drama, and I lost count of how many times I laughed out loud while reading this set.

Once again this author reinforces how I feel about her writing style and the flow of her books. Beachcomber will forever be my favorite series by this author but this one will run a close second.

Pick these up, you will not be sorry!

This is a great set of books. Each book includes its own couple, its own story and its own budding romance. The emotion in all the books is so well written that you feel and experience everything the characters do. I loved them all.

Playing for money- This story is about Hunter and Cat. Hunter is a bad boy with a reputation that isn’t truelly deserved but the only person who knows the truth is Cat.
Cat is the coach’s daughter and she has been hired to keep Hunter out of trouble. Will she succeed or will the attraction between them be the failing for them both.

Playing for love- This book is a second chance romance between Gabe  and Mia. Gabe  is a player on the same team as Hunter. Football is his life so when his long term gf moves away he is happy to settle for a long distance relationship. However that changes when his gf’s friend Mia moves to Boston. Denise (Gabes gf) tells Gabe he needs to watch out for Mia and she also tells Mia that she needs to make sure Gabe is being faithful. Little does she realise that the attraction between Gabe and Mia will be so strong. Can they resist temptation or is having a long distance gf not an option for Gabe anymore?

Playing for keeps- This story is about Tate and Chloe and is definately an enemies to lovers story. Tate can’t stand the media after they hounded him at his uncles funeral so when he meets Chloe  the hatred is there from the beginning.
Chloe will do anything to get a story and when she hears rumours about Tate being injured she has to investigate. Is she biting off more than she can chew by approaching Tate? Can she win him around or will his hatred for the media continue to include her.

Playing Series 3 is a set of unique stories with wonderful characters and great relationships this set is a great read.

The first story is Playing for the money – This follows Hunter who punches his coach and ends up being transferred across th country, but will this be he best decision in the end.

Catalina or Cat for short, is the coaches daughter but when a new player arrives will she be able to keep her attraction in check or will love win out.

The second story in this trilogy is Playing for Love – The story revolves around Gabe and MIa, this story is a second chance book. Gabe and Mia meet a long time ago but they were both in other relationships but Gabe has never really got her out of his system, until another chance meeting with Mia brings all the feelings back and he can’t resist her this time.

Will they able to give love a chance again?

The third and final book in this collection is Playing for Keeps – The story involves Tate who is in a slump as his Uncle and role model has just passed away but Tate feels guilty as he should have stopped him getting into the car after a couple of drinks.

Chloe is a reporter for the local newspaper and finds herself covering this event that has happened, that’s when she meets Tate and a attraction is on the cards.

I have always loved Stephanie’s writing and this does not disappoint, each story offers a great feel good factor and the characters compliment each other brilliantly. Each story is well developed and is a page turner. I would recommend this author and this series.

This is the first series i have read by Stephanie Queen. I thoroughly enjoyed it, i have only read a few football based love stories before this set and the playing series box set is by far my favourite so far. Three Footballers with three different romances. They all have something different to offer but each does not disappoint with the steamy romance. All 3 are based around a Boston football team.
Book 1 – Playing for the money, is a bad boy sports romance, Book 2 – Playing for love, is a second chance sports romance and Book 3 – Playing for keeps, is an enemies to lovers sports romance.
All three books are an enjoyable read containing humor and chemistry.
